Welcome to Arkansas Cooks!

I am so glad you're here! Inside you'll find information about episodes of Arkansas Cooks and great recipes from listeners, my family and even some of the cooks featured on Arkansas Cooks over the years on FM 89 KUAR. We also plan to add an archive of Arkansas Cooks episodes in the near future, so stay tuned!

Speaking of recipes, I invite you to find a recipe, try it out for your family and friends, and then come back and rate it to let me and everyone else know what you thought of the recipe. You can even add a comment about the recipe if you have more to say than stars can show! Have a recipe you'd like to share with other Arkansas Cooks fans? Click Submit a Recipe up at the top to send us your favorite recipe.

I also want to make sure you know about the Twedt Family Cookbook! It's a collection of favorite family recipes my family has gathered and handed down through the generations, and when we put them all together, we knew we had a special cookbook that we had to make available to you. You can buy the Twedt Family Cookbook right here on the Arkansas Cooks website. Pay securely, and we'll ship it to you ASAP!

There are two big weekends downtown. Next week is the World Cheese Dip Championship http://cheesedip.net/at Bernice Garden on South Main in Downtown Little Rock. I will be judging along with a slew of other great judges. Come on down to South Main between 11 & 3 and have some fun! It’s Halloween so costumes are encouraged!

Highlights for me are:…
FRIDAY
There is a great party in the Main Library on Friday night:
Arkansas Literary Festival Author! Author! Party
Central Arkansas Library Systems, Main Library, River Market District
100 Rock St., 5th Floor 7 – 9 PM

SATURDAY
I will be hosting Morgan Murphy about his book Off the Eaten Path and also Bourbon & Bacon. Saturday April 25th at 2:30pm in the Arkansas Studies Institute Building, Room 124!

Morgan Murphy travels 15,000 miles each year to hundreds of restaurants, talking to chefs, bartenders, and their guests. He tells their stories and celebrates their recipes in Off the Eaten Path: On the Road Again.
This should be a great converstation!

This is my last interview and it was also my first! Evette Brady was my first interview on October 5th 2002. I happy to have her as my guest today January 10th, 2015. She is a wonderful chef and I could not imagine ending any other way. Thanks to all the great listeners for so many years. Thanks to the great chefs and cooks I have interviewed as well, Arkansas has a rich culinary history because of you all. This has been a labor of love and I could not have done it without the support of KUAR. I could also not have done this without the help and expertise of Travis Hill. Thank you Travis!

Life is too short to eat bad food, so always eat great food & eat it with people you love, it will taste so much better!
